Cause for concern of him rushing his rehab to get back?

it's been 9 months. I wouldn't call his rehab "rushed".

What matters is that he's there, with his team, setting the tone and being a leader.

MT however will be one to watch for the start of camp.

Not sure that’s right. Didn’t it happen October 31st? That’s seven months on my calendar not nine.

You're right. 7 months. Burrow's injury was worse and he came back around the same time frame. I heard it said somewhere that he didn't feel 100% until around mid season.

Here's the brace that Jameis is wearing in practice. It's hard to wear one without it affecting your normal gait while walking. It's less apparent when running or moving around quicker.

Seems that having no limp would be better than having a limp, whatever the reason.

It also seems that not having been injured would be better than having to rehab from injury.

The brace isn't to aid him in walking. It's purpose is to give added protection. I would think that it is better to have that protection, even if takes some getting use to (ie. limping a bit), than to not have the protection at all. He said he plans to wear a brace throughout the season. There are different braces that still give great support, but are less cumbersome that I would think he could move to later.
